N is for Nobody But YOU

There was this song called Nobody But Me, originally written and recorded by the Isley Brothers back in 1962, that was a #8 hit in 1968 for a group called the Human Beinz. After a bunch of the word "No", we discover that:

Nobody can do
The shing-a-ling
Like I do

And the singer goes through a bunch of dances - the skate, the boo-ga-loo, the Philly - at which he excels.

You might have heard it:

Well, I wanted to turn that on its head a bit:

No no no no no no no no no
No no no no no no no no
No no no no no no no no
No no no no no

Nobody can do a blog post like you do
Nobody can take a photo like you do
Nobody can write a poem like you do
Nobody can make an essay like I do

Well don't you know you write
You doin', ain't nobody doin'
But you, people
Nobody but you

No is a very important word. I remember a song called " no, John" in which a father tells his daughter to keep saying " No" to her sweetheart whatever he asks her. Of course it has a happy ending!Thanks

I remember a song with the words "I love nobody but you" but I don't remember anything else about it.I seem to have dropped out of ABC Wednesday. This happened when I got sick a month ago, and was miles from home, fighting with my new laptop computer, my chest infection, and the hotel's horrible wi-fi system. After I had missed "K" (for my first name) and "L" (for my middle name) I decided I'd wait and start again when we get back to A. I hope that doesn't happen when we're miles from home and fighting with another wi-fi system.Meanwhile, I think you're doing a great job with this meme, Rog, and I'm sure Mrs. Nesbitt thinks so, too.Thanks!K
